Although the dog in the basket is less active than the other two, its eyes are not as listless as it seems. When Zheng Tan gets closer, he can see some vigilance in the puppy's eyes.

color.

The fur of the remaining pup is grayish, with dark brown or even almost black markings scattered throughout the body. At first glance, it reminds people of a tortoiseshell cat among cats. However, the coat color of a tortoiseshell cat

It is relatively complex, has no regularity, and does not have such a relatively uniform distribution of spots.

After staying in the pet center for a long time, Zheng Tan has seen a lot of dogs and heard a lot about various dogs. Once, Zheng Tan was wandering around the pet center after completing a mission with Xiao Guo, and saw a person in the pet center.

When talking to Xiao Guo, there were several dogs around that person that looked like they had a skin disease. Charlie and the others said they were called tabby dogs.

If you look carefully, it is true that some of the spots on those dogs are like stripes, which are different from Li Yuanba's coat color. The dog also looks very fierce. However, many people are keen on this coat color and it is relatively famous.

Naturally, the one is Shangrao tabby, a hound that is rumored to have been used for royal hunting. The tabby dog ​​may not be as awesome as some people say. Even if it is not entirely true, it shows that many people still like this coat color.

The person who talked to Xiao Guo liked this kind of tabby dog ​​very much, and most of the dogs he owned had this kind of coat color. In fact, in rural areas, native dogs with this kind of coat color are not uncommon, and they are only used to look after homes in the countryside.

Many people don't care about coat color and don't make that serious distinction. In fact, what matters is how people are raised.

Now, out of the three puppies, this one is the only one left, and the main reason is the coat color.

Apart from the coat color issue, Zheng Tan looked at the puppy and found it quite pleasing to the eye and not fussy.

I heard from Charlie and the others before that tabby dogs are generally a bit more stubborn and fierce than other native dogs. They have good hunting skills and can be used as housekeepers and fights. They are more flexible than ordinary native dogs and are used for hunting.

, their performance in fighting small mountains is also relatively good, but because of their impatient and unsteady character, most tabby dogs are rarely able to be the leader in actual combat fighting big mountains. This is not absolute, but in most cases it is.

so.

The tabby would look cool and not as honest as many big yellow dogs. But Zheng Tan looked at it and saw that this little tabby was more honest and calm than the little yellow dog he bought earlier. Of course, this was just a look.

As for what he will be like when he gets acquainted and grows up, Zheng Tan can't tell now.

Everyone around him disliked the color of this dog's coat, but Zheng Tan felt more and more good about it the more he looked at it.

The originally squatting pup also stood up as Zheng Tan approached. He didn't bark much at first, but after staring at Zheng Tan for a while, he started to whine. His little tail also swung.

With.

The man selling the dog just saw a black cat running next to the dog basket and was wondering, since when did the market have such a black cat? And he was walking around so arrogantly. Generally speaking, cats and dogs will not be so calm and murderous in the market.

It's too heavy, just like the dogs in the cage who are about to be sold, they are all restless. In comparison, this black cat is too different, neither restless nor afraid of strangers.

The stall owner was about to say something, but Old Man Lan had already spoken.

"What's the matter, Hei Tan, have you taken a fancy to this one?" Old Lan walked over and squatted down to take a closer look at the pup.

He had no intention of buying it just now, but after seeing Zheng Tan's behavior, he changed his mind.

"Oh, sir, your cat is so brave." The stall owner laughed.

Old Man Lan said "hmm" without saying much. He looked at the puppy carefully, picked it up and took a look at it.

Seeing that the puppy seemed to have no illness except for the ugly coat, Old Lan's inner awkwardness eased a little. Looking at the black cat next to him, Old Lan's inner balance tilted a little more.

Seeing that Old Man Lan was hesitant, the stall owner wanted to sell the dog quickly, so he said: "Old man, this last puppy will no longer have this shop after passing this village. This dog is a good dog, otherwise the two bosses just now

I don’t know how to buy it. But I see that you don’t like the color of the coat. How about I give you a discount? The two I sold just now were sold for 80 yuan, and I will sell this one to you for 60 yuan. How about that?”

Old Man Lan didn't say anything and seemed to be still thinking about it. In fact, he was observing Zheng Tan's reaction and was unsure about paying attention to the dog, so he left the choice to Zheng Tan and found that Zheng Tan had indeed been staring at the dog.

Zai, old man Lan also thought of buying Zai.

Forget it, it’s just that the coat color is not good-looking. The most important thing when choosing a dog is to check the dog’s inner character. In terms of appearance, don’t be too demanding, otherwise it will be inverted! Old man Lan comforted himself in his heart.

It's just that Old Man Lan's silence seemed to the stall owner to be dissatisfied with the price. The old man in front of him was not wearing anything special, and he didn't look like a rich man. Moreover, he knew that old people of this age were not satisfied with the price.

Money was tight and he was reluctant to spare any extra, so the stall owner thought about whether to lower the price any further.

Hearing the cry of a puppy, the stall owner looked over to the electric tricycle and saw a puppy in a cage on the vehicle. He asked Old Man Lan: "Did you just buy the dog on the vehicle?"

Old Man Lan, who had already made up his mind, put down the puppy and stood up slowly, "Well, I just bought it, and I got a cage for sixty." Old Man Lan told the truth.

However, from the perspective of the stall owner, the old man really had a problem with the price, but the puppy in his car was slightly bigger than his own, and he looked much more energetic. He even gave him a cage and yelled "sixty" by himself.

If so, the deal would probably be a failure. Seeing that no one around was interested in the puppy, the stall owner thought for a moment and said, "Well, I want to sell this puppy quickly. My wife

I left with the big dog and will be back soon. Before she brings the dog back, I want to sell the dog. Otherwise, it will be forty, which is half the price. In fact, except for the coat color, this dog is really good.

When he becomes an adult, he will be absolutely dedicated to looking after the house. Look at his eyes, he is the type who is willing to bark when he sees a stranger, and he will bark harder than other dogs and will not mute his temper out of fear."

The stall owner seemed very honest and sincere when he spoke, but in fact, the stall owner was thinking that forty yuan was more than they originally thought. It was an extra profit anyway, not a loss. As for boasting

As for dogs, this is pure nonsense. How can he look after dogs? He is just making up a few nonsense sentences like Boss Liu did before.

Old Lan, who originally planned to pay and leave, lowered the price when he heard it. He paused and looked at the stall owner. He shook his head silently, then took out the money and handed it over.

People around thought that Old Man Lan was still dissatisfied with the dog and the price, and just reluctantly accepted it. But Zheng Tan knew that Old Man Lan was speechless. The old man didn't care much about the dozens of dollars, but he didn't want to just say less.

After a few words, the stall owner directly lowered the price.

The owner of the dog basket stall didn't plan to give it away, and Old Man Lan didn't want it either. There was room for a puppy in the cage in the car, so the two puppies could be squeezed together. Anyway, they would be able to go back soon.

Two puppies were crowded into a cage. They were both puppies. They didn't fight much, but the little yellow dog was more lively and took the initiative to tease him a few times.

Zheng Tan was watching from the side. The two puppies together cost less than a hundred yuan, which is so cheap. Compared to the same dogs, the price is hundreds or thousands of times higher than those of more expensive breeds. Or even more.

This dog has been selected. As for what the two dogs will look like in the future, Zheng Tan can't guarantee it. Didn't Old Man Lan say anything? If he raises them crookedly in the future, it is Old Man Lan's own responsibility and has nothing to do with Zheng Tan.

After returning to school, Old Man Lan placed the two puppies in the small garden instead of taking them back to the family building. Old Mrs. Zhai cooked some rice paste and mixed it with some minced meat for the two puppies.

The puppy ate happily.

Old Man Lan named the two pups. The little yellow dog was called Qianli, and the tabby one was called Shunfeng. Old Man Lan hoped that the two dogs would be as capable as Shunfeng with clairvoyance and ears, and guard the small flower garden to guard against those evil things.

A crooked person.

The orchid in the pot is still blooming, and it takes longer to bloom than other varieties of orchids. This surprised many people. After the orchid was recovered, Mr. Lan’s small flower garden was not open to the public, and no one could see it. There were only a few

Only those with good connections will be let in. The media has also cooled down. It's not that they don't want to report it, but that the superiors are suppressing it from continuing to report it. Old Lan also means the same, and he doesn't want to attract more people with evil intentions.

The puppies were still small, so Mr. Lan didn't give them separate kennels. Instead, he made a temporary kennel out of a cardboard box. When the puppies grow up, he will make two larger kennels out of wooden boards.

When Mr. Lan took his two pups to the pet center for a checkup, he learned from the people there that dogs with coat colors like "Shunfeng" also had tiger stripes.

The people at the pet center wanted to comfort Old Man Lan specifically, so they exaggerated when they spoke, which made Old Lan feel happy.

In fact, no matter what, he is just a local dog. Many people still look down upon him. However, Old Man Lan’s awkward thoughts are gone now, and he is still a little proud of picking up the slack. When he returned to school and saw Zheng Tan

That smile is so amiable.

"Heitan, you have good taste."

Zheng Tan looked at the old man who was humming a little tune and walked away, thinking, he is still young, and when he grows up, he will know whether his vision is good or not.

However, every time he heard Old Lan shout "Shunfeng", Zheng Tan always felt uncomfortable and would consciously add the word "Express" in his mind. Later, Old Lan probably thought it sounded like someone delivering express, so he

The name was changed to "Shunzi".

Native dogs are easy to raise and grow quickly. The two puppies are also very adaptable. They ran all over the yard within a few days of being placed in the small flower garden. Besides Zheng Tan, the first cat these two met was the police chief.

It turns out that the police chief went to the small flower garden to nibble on flowers, but now he runs frequently to the small flower garden because of these two puppies. Zheng Tan had long known that the police chief was more interested in dogs than cats.

At the beginning, the police chief was just curious and did not go over to interact with the two puppies. Instead, he stood on the flower shed and looked at the two puppies playing below. Their necks were stretched so long that they wished they could grow into giraffes.

Like his neck, his eyes kept following the two puppies.

After discovering the cat squatting on the flower shed, the two puppies came under the flower shed. The little yellow-haired "Qianli" opened his mouth and barked at the police chief, with an obvious cry of a puppy. The roof of the flower shed is sloped.

, the highest part is about three meters above the ground, the lowest part is less than half a meter, and the place where the police sergeant squats is about one meter above the ground, otherwise the two puppies would not notice it.

"Shunzi" didn't speak, but he raised his head and stared at the cat on the flower shed.

Zheng Tan knew from the way the sergeant's tail swung that this guy really wanted to go play with those two, but he probably wanted to observe more.

Seeing that the police chief didn't say anything, Zheng Tan walked around behind it and kicked it down.

PS: The grandma who made the statement before had two dogs at home, one was a black-backed Tan Chuan, which was very big, and the other was a native tabby, which was much smaller. But when it comes to looking after the house, the tabby one plays the main role, with its ears.

Traling barked when he heard strangers approaching the door, and then the black-backed Chuanchuan followed. Later, the place was demolished. I heard that the tiger stripe never left the place, and the family took it away and it would return to the same place.
Chapter completed!
